 The only iPhone 3G compatible car stereo to date. December 15, 2008

This is the only iPhone 3G compatible car stereo to date. I purchased one in Circuit City for a good bargain price because I purchased the GT820IP prior to this to find out that it doesn't charge my iphone (and also the latest ipods from what I heard). So I rushed back to Circuit City to ask why it doesn't charge. Then they recommended this one which is the only one that is compatible to my iPhone 3G.
They installed it and all and it doesn't come with a Sony Ipod Adapter. It's ok since it has the USB slot in front. You can plug your iphone data cable (that comes included with your iphone) and it works flawlessly. It charges and plays music.
The accessory mode is ON when you plug it but if you want to control the music using your iphone, it has this Passenger Mode feature that lets you control your iphone to play music. That means you can also watch movies and videos from your ipod. If you have a movie in your iphone, you can play it and hear the sounds in your car stereo. It's an awesome deal! You get an ipod and a video player all in one when you get to do long drives and watch movies for hours. The iphone maps feature assists you in driving as well (hope they'll be releasing their GPS software soon).
Basically it makes my iphone the ultimate car travel companion. I would prefer this to everyone. Only minor issue is sometimes my iPhone doesn't load when plugged. It happened to me twice but not a major drawback.
 pretty nice December 15, 2008

I purchased this and installed it at a local big box electronics store. I felt it was in the right range for simplicity. Some radios like the Duals might have onboard bluetooth and HD radio included. This one doesn't. But the front plate USB port is simplicity and useful to me right now. i can load up flash drives and take music with me quickly. I havent' tested my creative player yet, but I hope that works too.
The look of it is a little less elegant than some of the pioneers and alpines look. The knob feels ok, don't get me wrong, but when you turn it, it's not like it feels expensive. You know how some knobs are just bang on perfect and tight and feel expensive. I like how mine has both blue and green lighting. I'm using green, as I'm tired of blue right now.
the buttons are straight forward, the LCD screen is not full pixel LCD, you can kind of see the limits of it, whereas some radios you can play full motion video because it's not locked in to certain lettering.
the USB detection has been superfast. that's awesome. Sound is clear. Radio is good. I figured if I want to update it later, by then, HD add-ons will be cheaper in a couple years and i can always get bluetooth added on, or get it through a garmin navi or something. There aren't that many front USB head units. This one, the previous sony (610) and a kenwood were the few. the kenwood's usb has a plastic cap that looks really cheap. This one is nicer. The rest have rear USB piped in from the back into your ashtray or glove box. I dont' like that, I wanted it easy. And I think this newer model navigates songs much better.
